You can [Edit] your question by adding more details of what you did - and what you didn’t do -, as well as putting the source code related to the problem; try to create a [mcve] demonstrating the situation as well.

Good afternoon Leandro,

I found this article that may be relevant:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8499351/how-to-read-csv-file-in-android

The following code will be the answer given as correct:

public final List<String[]> readCsv(Context context) {
List<String[]> questionList = new ArrayList<String[]>();
AssetManager assetManager = context.getAssets();

try {
InputStream csvStream = assetManager.open(CSV_PATH);
InputStreamReader csvStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(csvStream);
CSVReader csvReader = new CSVReader(csvStreamReader);

String[] line;

// throw away the header
csvReader.readNext();

while ((line = csvReader.readNext()) != null) {
questionList.add(line);
}

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

return questionList;

}

I hope I’ve helped.

    This link may be a good suggestion, but your reply will not be valid if one day the link crashes. In addition, it is important for the community to have content right here on the site. It would be better to include more details in your response. A summary of the content of the link would be helpful enough! Learn more about it in this item of our Community FAQ: We want answers that contain only links?
